I stop in here now and then to clean up spam. That seems about 99.5% of the activity around here. The other .5% is the Snap stuff.
Moved on to other hobbies. Can't remember the last time I used after market cooling. I run a 6 core AMD 1055T with a Ati HD 4850 on my main system and have no noise issues with the stock cooling.

Getting old... Mid 30's already. I think I joined in here 10 years ago... Almost miss the flame wars.

mac isn's as ominous as it sounds; I HAD to have a new notebook before going on a sabbatical and at the campus store the 15" Macbook Pro had similar/better specs to all the PCs available. I have been wanting to try out OS X anyway so I gave it a go. I still bootcamp into Windows to game (even with steam mac gaming is LOL) and I have a virtual machine running Win7 for work all the time. I do really like expose' and spaces and the operating system though and this is one of the nicer notebooks I've owned.

I moved our whole family down here Jan1-April 29 for a break from Canada. It was a pretty great move as the beaches here are spectacular.

I'm actually thinking about building one of those "ludicrous gamer" rigs in May when I get back to Canada, and I may well watercool then just to impress the ladies.

Yea I'm about 4-5 hours drive south of Christchurch; not directly affected by the quake but I feel terrible for the people there.

The only real annoyance of the Mac is the 5400 rpm hdd in it. The rainbow spinning pinwheel pisses me off so much. I was using a Lenovo x300 with SSD in it before this, so it's extra apparent now. The 15" is also pretty heavy, but i knew that going into it.
